Hi list!
I'm trying to setup a couple of test fw/routers with carp running
Openbsd 4.2 release . Because of the differences in network topology i
would like to use both arp balancing and ip balancing (ip balancing on
$external net and arp balancing on $localnet ). I tried doing it but
because of net.inet.carp.arpbalance=1, ip balancing won't work. If I set
net.inet.carp.arpbalance=0, carp ip balancing is working.
My question is : This could work or am I being really stupid? I'm
probably missing something in understanding the two modes for load
balancing. Could someone explain why this should/shouldn't work?
Please excuse me if i didn't make myself understood.

P.S.: I ran into some serious trouble in setting up carp arp balancing
when using "no-name" switches that don't forward multicast traffic. I
think this should be known by other users trying to setup carp.
